CO: David Iobst
Hometown: Emmaus, PA
Assessment Class Year: Spring 2023
Desired Branch: Infantry
What made you decide to join Ranger Company?
I quickly developed an interest to assess into Ranger Company because I saw the assessment process as a great opportunity to challenge myself mentally and physically. After being selected, I learned there were even more opportunities ahead of me and the training had just begun. It has been an honor to be in this Company, and I am thankful for the comradery, competitive environment, and routine training there has been each year.
How has Ranger Company been edited you as a cadet?
Ranger Company has allowed me to develop strong bonds with those I train with, learn from instructors with a vast amount of knowledge/experiences, and conduct extra training (Sapper, Air Assault, Ranger Challenge, Ranger FTX).
Tips for people assessing?
Take it day to day and know you can push beyond the mental barriers you create. Prepare yourself physically prior to beginning the process and understand the importance of physical and mental endurance.
